I will say that more psychiatrists are being corrected for how they have misdiagnosed. It takes time to establish a better understanding. A lot of what we know now is still fairly new.
I have no resentments from my childhood as there was no such thing as child therapists. I am peeved that as an adult I've spent many years in the system where trauma was not connected to my mental health problems. I am happy that child therapist are everywhere today because it ruined my life.
